Paris, December 22: Kylian Mbappe gave one young Paris Saint-Germain fan an early Christmas present he will not forget in a hurry, as he signed an autograph for him during Saturday's match.

PSG ran out 4-1 winners over struggling Amiens, with Mbappe – who turned 21 on Friday (December 20) – netting two goals in a fine performance.

But he also showed a touch of class on a personal level late in the match when approached by a young Christmas hat-clad pitch invader, putting his arm around the child to shield him from the security staff before leading him off the pitch.

The emotional – but impressively prepared – boy then produced a book and pen from his coat, with Mbappe obliging and signing his autograph.

Mbappe then took on the role of Santa Claus after the match, with he and several team-mates photographed handing out gifts to children.

It seems Christmas does come early for some!
